Mayor Mare, of course!

I'd like to think of it more as...Filthy Rich vs. Ms. Harshwinny~  

The real winner was Trixie, Mayor Mare is just a shadow official.

With your apple eye?

I'mma cuddle you next time I see you on Skype so hard your brain will burst with friendship.

Sounds like I need to get on Skype!

Pfft, that's just pony-centric propaganda from a pony-centric show. 

Besides... Who has shown up in the show besides ponies that even get marks here?

Zebras.

It confirmed much of it.

None at all

Hopefully it will confirm even more.....I'm looking forward to this episode along with the next one. :3

Yeah. It's almost like her name hints to that in some way.

And it's probably a reference to this

Man, those are some ugly hippos!

:c No dude you haven't been replaced! That's silly talk! We know you've been busy so Zeig did a couple pieces for the announcement banners to take a little of the load off for you. You're still our number one site artist extraordinaire

That happens around here, Brian.

Enough. BBB you're not "replaced" for anything. All contributions are welcome from all of our users, and we happily use everything we get.

That's why I use Gigabyte boards... it's less scary when you have a second bios to boot from.

Well fortunately everything went right, but I am always have the slight panic when I do it and watch the screen as it is updating.

I'm fine.  Life has been busier than usual for me.  Ever since I got relocated last year, it's been nearly a non-stop flurry of activity for me!

I appreciate your concern, BBB, but I'm doing ok.

<hugs> 

I hope you pull yourself out from depression~  It ain't easy, but getting out of the hole reaps great benefits.

Please feel well soon. If I can say something about your artwork, it's that it is great, nowhere close to being banal.

Your artwork is one of my favorite to see! I'd love to see some more when you get the chance.

Yeah, it's hard not to smile at your art. Hope you get out of your grey cloud soon...

I feel both those types of slumps often. I can promise you that none of the stuff you draw is "Banal" and I always love seeing it! 

I think I can relate...

I usually have more of an art stump than anything, and it sucks very much when you feel like you should have ideas for something, but you can't quite come up with it~

BEST TEACHER

This.

Take your time, sugarcube.

Once again I'll have to disagree. I feel like, no. She wouldn't try to lie and manipulate, that's what got her here in the first place. That's what got her to lead a group of ponies and take away their cutie marks, that's what got her to be the nemesis of Twilight. She learned that lesson. It felt very natural that she'd be like 'Oh god I don't wanna do this'. Starlight Glimmer IS all those things you mentioned, but at the same time, she's still just a pony. They have sides. Lying Manipulator Glimmer =/= Glimmer trying to adjust to something foreign. Everything she had done SHE had done, she controlled, now that she's not the one in control, it's scary and strange. I wouldn't remotely call how she was 'Timid and Shy'. Apprehensive and Nervous, yes. But I think it's silly to just flat out say 'Oh that's not her.' when we've only seen ONE side of her until now. She's not stuck in the box of what three episodes gave us, she's more than just that and I feel like we'll see 'Timid and Shy', 'Cunning and Smart' 'Tired and Confused' and other sides to Glimmer. Can't judge a book by just the first few pages, gotta finish reading.

She never learned the lesson that it's wrong to take away someone's cutie mark.  She learned it's a bad idea to mess with time.  Nowhere did anyone ever convince her that trying to make everypony equal was a bad idea.

I fail to see how that negates that there's more than one side to everyone. I also fail to see how she DIDN'T learn her lesson about stealing cutie marks and lying and manipulating ponies to get them to be "Equal'. But I feel that this will just continue to break down into a 'But this.' 'Ah but this' and go nowhere, so we'll just agree to disagree.

Congrazzles!!!

Here's to another five years buddy

Happy anniversary!

HYPE!

Eeeeeeee!

My avatar and yours were going in sync there for a moment. Diabeetus confirm.

Also, muchly of the pony hype in me. c:

Six sided dice. You've clearly never played a tabletop game, have you Lyi?

I've learned that there is almost no middle ground on Flashlight. You're all for it, or you despise it with all your soul. xD

All problems can be solved with a d-20. Just hope you never get a natural 1...
